民主主义

民主主义 refers to the principle or system of government in which the people have the power to make decisions, typically through elected representatives. It emphasizes popular sovereignty and the rule of law.

The character 民 (mín) means 'people' or 'citizen,' 主 (zhǔ) means 'master' or 'ruler,' and 义 (yì) means 'righteousness' or 'principle.' Together, they form a concept that represents the idea of people-centered governance based on fairness and justice.

Democratic ideals are widely discussed in political theory and are central to many modern governments. In China, the term is often associated with the country's political development and the promotion of people's participation in governance.
